Anne Combs

Anne Combs is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 40 years in behavioral health. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship pressures, addiction, and major life transitions such as divorce and separation. Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at finding clear ways to reduce daily strain and regain a sense of control.

Anne spent decades working as a therapist, clinical supervisor, and administrator in a range of behavioral health settings. She returned to more one-on-one work because she values helping people find concrete solutions. She has experience supporting people with career challenges through to those living with serious mental illness.

In session she focuses on the here and now while acknowledging that past trauma matters. The goal is to help people manage the effects of that history so they can move forward. Her style is warm, interactive, and down-to-earth, and she often uses humor to ease tension and build rapport.

Anne uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and elements of mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people change unhelpful thinking, set practical goals, and build coping skills. She also draws on her training and hours in executive coaching when clients need help with workplace challenges.

She works in English and brings a calm, problem-solving focus to sessions. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking and to use the Start Therapy process on the site to connect and schedule time together.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities. It helps when someone needs acceptance and a place to clarify values and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and practical coping with life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It can be paired with other approaches to manage stress and emotional triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anne will help clients choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as needs change. That collaborative process makes sessions more relevant and efficient.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, since the biography does not list specific online formats. Ask about current options when you schedule. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten travel time, allow a quick check-in during a work break, or offer a lower-key option if you prefer not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, client-centered techniques, and mindfulness exercises to work well over distance while focusing on practical, solution-oriented steps.
